While many oenophiles tend to enjoy their wine alone or with friends and family, a new service aims to turn their love of wine into a competition. Recently launched Wine Battles is the only competitive social event that turns wine tasting into a game.

Each wine battle consists of multiple bottles of wine delivered to participants’ homes. Each week, participants decide which of the two bottles delivered they prefer. Those who choose the wine selected by the most participants moves up in rank. It’s like a chess tournament for wine lovers. Winners receive 25% off of all battle wines.
